cannot avoid beino; fenlible of the various
and difcordant opinions which are formed
concerning almofl: every fubjedl that

ofthe philofopher and the metaphyfician,
but to thofe pradical queftions which, it
might be imagined, would eafily be de-
termined by the plain did:ates of com-
mon fenfe and general experience. So
different are the views in which the fame

minds, that there Is nothing in the ordi-
nary courfe of life, nothing with regard
to agricuhure, and manufadlures, com-
merce and politics, but what has been
debated, and will continue to be debated,
by men of the heft under/landings and
the moft upright difpofitions.
Such being the nature ofman, there is
the lefs reafon to be furprifed at the op-
J
pofite opinions that are entertained con-
i
cerning the Provifional Treaty with
(
America, and the Preliminary Articles
<
with France and Spain : ar.'d yet when
we reflect on the fatal condition to which
the nation was reduced, and on the con-
vid:ion that prevailed of the neceflity of
being extricated from it, almoft at any
rate, it might have been hoped that the
terms on which Peace has been obtained,
would have excited far lefs dilTatisfadion
than they appear to have done. That
thofe who reaped benefit from the pro-
iecution of the war, (liould be averfe to
3 ' its
[ 3 ]
its difcontinuance, mrght naturally be
expe^^ed. Neither can it be deemed
flrange that the violent advocates for the
impolitic and deRrudtive meafures fo long
purfued, (hould be difplcafed with an
event fo contrary to their views and their
/"3 wifhes. But that thofe who execrated the
American War, who, at lead, thought
it the height of infatuation, and who,
perhaps, regarded it as founded on in-
j.uftice ; that fuch men (liould now be the
iiril to condemn the peace, and even ar-
dent to plunge the nation into confufion
on account of it, can only be imputed to
I a moft rapia and unaccountable change
of fentiments, or to motives far lefs
honourable and praife-worthy.
It does notrequire many arguments to
prove, that the happieft circumftance
which could pofTibly take place for t!ie
general interefts of mankind, would be
for the nations of the earth to fubfift to-
gether in a mutual agreement. Peace is
